The truck used in the New Orleans terrorist attack is a Ford F-150 Lightning, which is perfectly designed for this kind of attack. It weighs more than 6000 lbs, accelerates to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, and the battering-ram-shaped front is nearly 5 feet tall. Deadly by design.

Ecuador, which gets 70% of its electricity from hydropower, is facing a severe energy crisis due to an extraordinary drought exacerbated by climate change. The solution is to diversify and invest more in wind and solar.
